Ego The Living Planet Concept Art
At the end of the day, the costume designer looked to the frontier to find the celestial being's look. "We wanted something where he was kind of a space frontiersmen mixed with a little bit of western because that's Kurt Russell's style," Makovsky shared in the production notes. "I didn' t want to do a typical, superhero where it's molded and hard. So it's actually all leather, like a frontiersman would be, and we laced it all together. It's layers and layers of different leathers on op of each other that are laser-etched and dyed to make an almost medieval/renaissance detail all over it."
"When we first talked about it with Kurt, he looked at some of the sketches and really got it," Makovsky added. "It's kind of like a space conquistador like Don Quixote. We looked at actually how conquistador clothes were made and we went in that direction, but made his pants and boots very modern."
Mantis Concept Art
Makovsky told Fashionista, for the Mantis costume, she took inspiration from the comics. "It was just a matter of finding a technique with the leather to make it more interesting than just a flat leather panel of skirt," she explained. "Woven leather in there was fun to do. There's an open-work, woven, double face leather; it's black and green and twists and petals up the arm."
